My Verdict

I'll admit it: I've been avoiding flavored lubes. I had this idea in my head that they were all too sweet and artificial, but this System JO lube changed my mind. As soon as I opened the bottle, I smelled real crème brûlée and was immediately sold. This tastes so much like the real thing, and makes oral sex a truly luxurious experience for me. I love that it's water-based and non-sticky, which makes it much nicer than other oral sex aids. It's also free from parabens and propylene glycol, but it does still contain glycerine, so I've stayed away from using it on my vulva, just to avoid any potential pH-balance upsets.

Buy, if you...

  1. Are looking for a lube to make oral a more luxurious experience
  2. Enjoy sweet, dessert-y tastes
  3. Want a flavored lube that works with all toys and condoms

Don't buy, if you...

  1. Prefer a more fresh, zingy taste
  2. Prefer not to use glycerine lubes in your vagina
  3. Are looking for an everyday lube for sex

About The System JO Gelato Crème Brûlée Flavored Lubricant

This flavored lube is made by System JO, who are prolific lubricant makers with tons of different lubes to their name, both flavored and unflavored. This Crème Brûlée lube is part of their Gelato range of dessert-flavored offerings, and the taste is very true to its namesake! It's a water-based lube with a neutral pH, and it's compatible with all sex toy materials and condom types. It comes in a 1 or 4 fl oz bottle that's slightly squeezable and has a click-close lid.

Design

System JO Gelato Crème Brûlée Flavored Lubricant Design

This bottle definitely looks luxurious and dessert-themed, which I love. It actually reminds me a lot of my favorite brand of ice cream sauce, which is enough to make me start drooling a little! In terms of the shape and size of the bottle, it's very handy to have a slim bottle that fits nicely in my bedside cupboard.

Ease of Use

System JO Gelato Crème Brûlée Flavored Lubricant Ease of Use

Since this System JO lube is water-based, it's super easy to wash off your skin. It's not tacky, though it can leave a very slight sticky residue on hard surfaces. You can use it with all types of sex toys and condoms, too. The downside of water-based lubes is that they dry out quite quickly, but that shouldn't be much of an issue if you're using it during oral sex.

Quality

System JO Gelato Crème Brûlée Flavored Lubricant Quality

Edible lubes like this one have to be safe to eat, of course! This flavored lube contains 100% safe ingredients and is FDA licensed, so you can trust that it won't cause any harm to you or your partner. It has a neutral pH, too, which, while not as great as slightly acidic lubes that match the vagina's natural pH level, is still body-safe. However, it does contain glycerine, a sugar that can promote bacterial growth in the vagina, possibly leading to infections. There is some debate about this, but since my body is especially sensitive, I chose to avoid using this lube on myself.

Price

System JO Gelato Crème Brûlée Flavored Lubricant Price

You can find the System JO Crème Brulee flavored lube for around $9 for a 1 fl oz bottle, and around $16-17 for a 4 fl oz bottle. That's certainly not the cheapest flavored lube you can find, but I think the price reflects how much better and more palatable it is than so many other edible lubricants! Since I got the 4 oz bottle, and I only need a very small amount each time, I think it's 100% worth it.

Performance

System JO Gelato Crème Brûlée Flavored Lubricant Performance

This lube is one of the lowest viscosity lubes I've encountered, and pours almost like a thin silicone lube. For lubes to use during sex, I usually prefer a much thicker, gel-like consistency, but for an oral sex companion lube like this one, the thinness makes it easy to pour wherever you need it. We even tried using it like a body paint, drizzling it on the skin and then licking it off!

Compatibility

System JO Gelato Crème Brûlée Flavored Lubricant Compatibility

This type of bottle is very practical, since you don't get any dried up lube stuck around the opening. It's also way easier to use when you have slippery hands, since you don't need to screw anything off. The bottle itself is a little difficult to squeeze, but since the lube is so thin, it isn't prohibitively difficult.

Stain Test

System JO Gelato Crème Brûlée Flavored Lubricant Stain Test

When I looked at the System JO Crème Brûlée lube in the bottle, it looked a fairly dark caramel color. However, once you pour some out, it only has a slightly yellow tinge to it. When I poured it out onto some fabric, it looks translucent! Once I washed the fabric, it came right out with zero staining.
